SEATTLE DESIGN AWARDS 2006 The Seattle chapter of the American Institute of Architects has just celebrated its 55-year-old program of design awards honoring the "the state of the art in architecture produced by the Washington design community." The chosen projects emphasize an environmental sensitivity and sense of place in a variety of regions throughout the state and in the very different but "neighboring" states of Alaska and Hawaii.

CHICAGO LANDMARK AWARDS Chicago is justly proud of its architectural heritage, marked by the great American architects Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright, by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and, more recently, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and Helmut Jahn. As contemporary architects follow in these illustrious footsteps, modern Chicagoans work hard to preserve their built history.
